Back from the Dentist

[days_unfolding]

I overslept and had to scramble out of here to the dentist, but I made it on time. One good thing about Lincoln is that it's small, and nothing is far away.

The good news: I really like the dentist.

The bad news: I need a bunch of work done (but I'm not surprised, and they explained it to me well).

I had a periodontal treatment on one side of my mouth done today, so my mouth is numb. I'm novocaine-resistant, but whatever they used works well for me. I'm having a treatment on the other side next week.

I forgot to get my prescriptions filled (antibiotic and treatment for dry mouth), but I think that I'll nap for a little while and get them filled later.

Will you be setting out to complete all the dental work? I need TONS, but, hello U.S., I can't afford any of it. I'm glad to hear you're getting stuff done!

Yeah, I don't know. The total is around $7000, which is money that I don't really have. I'm hoping that our new insurance, which starts next month, will cover more of it. I need new glasses too. Sigh.

I hope that they will be willing to stretch the work out A LOT. Otherwise, there's no way.
